Oklahoma City National Memorial

The Oklahoma City National Memorial honours the victims, survivors, rescuers, and all who were changed by the Oklahoma City Bombing of April 19, 1995. It stands on the site of the Alfred P. Murrah building and is the largest memorial of its kind in the U.S.A.

At the top of the thumbnail you can see the rectangular reflecting pool with the “gates of time” at either end. In the southern half is the “Rescuers’ Orchard”, a grove of fruit and flowering trees that surround the “Survivor Tree”, an elm that survived the bombing.

One block north and west is the construction sight of the new federal building (now complete). You can see the Memorial from there, causing some anxiety for returning workers.
